Cake Mix Sugar Cookies Recipe

I adore sugar cookies, but hate the time it takes to make them. These cookies are some of our absolute favorite, and you don’t even have to pull out the cookie cutters!

Cake Mix Sugar Cookies Recipe:

(Makes 3 dozen cookies)

Cookies:

Ingredients:

1 (15.25 ounce) box vanilla cake mix

2 eggs

1/3 cup vegetable oil

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, mix together cake mix, eggs and oil until well combined. Roll into 1-inch balls and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until slightly golden. Let cool completely.

Was just going on the computer to look up a sugar cooking recipe, decided they would be a better idea than cupcakes for my sons preschool party. Im so glad I checked my email first!!! These look so yummy, thanks for sharing!!

Girls,I saw you over at another party, I love your cookies. I would LOVE fot you to come to mine at http://www.memoriesbythemile.com/ It’s going on now till Thursday.xoxoWanda Ann @ Memories by the Mile

Absolutely fantastic recipe. Everyone needs to keep in mind that Betty Crocker makes the 15.25 ounce cake mixes while Duncan Hines and Pillsbury continue to make the 18.25 ounce mixes. I learned that the hard way. So if you use Duncan Hines or Pillsbury, you need to bump up the oil by a teaspoon or two.

I made these this weekend with a pineapple flavor mix. Rather than making the frosting called for, I mixed some pineapple juice with powdered sugar to a pouring consistency and drizzled it on the cooled cookies. Took them to a luau-themed barbeque. They were the hit of the party!

We made these cookies with our 3 yr old Grandson as one of our Easter desserts and they were a big hit! One of the best sugar cookie recipes I think I have ever made and kid friendly too! We followed your recipe exactly and wouldn’t change a thing! I really think you could use any flavor cake mix and make killer cookies every time. Thanks so much for sharing. You guys are the best!!

These look great but I have been making mine using only 1 box of cake mix & 1 can of diet soda. Then they are very low in calories & still taste yummy! They don’t taste like the
soda at all but you could add any extracts or flavorings you wanted. I also just mix
juices with a bit of powdered sugar for glazing cookies like someone mentioned.
You don’t really need the oil or the eggs they will still come out perfectly. I’ve also
subbed club soda for the diet soda too.

I only had a box of yellow cake mix on hand and I think it worked just as well. 🙂 They turned out awesome. Fluffy, moist and tasty!! Could totally be eaten on their own. The frosting, instead of using food coloring, I added some Hershey’s strawberry syrup to the mixture and had strawberry frosting. OH! MY! YUM! Great recipe and I have now tagged several other recipes for myself just browsing. GREAT COOKIES!! 🙂

These were super easy. The frosting made way too much so I ended up throwing half of it away. I would suggest cutting the frosting recipe in half or making a double batch of cookies since the recipe doesn’t make that many.

Was your cake mix 15.25 ounces? We have found that some cake mix box sizes are shrinking! That can effect your recipes. You could always try adding just a little flour. I’m not sure what could have gone wrong. We have never had a problem with this recipe!

You may need a little extra flour to roll these out and cut them into shapes. We have only rolled them into balls to cook them. If you do roll them out, check them while cooking. Being thinner the cooking time may be less. Let us know how it works.

I thought it was too “sticky,” so I added about 2 tablespoons of flour with a little B. Powder. I stirred it in a little at a time. They were perfect! And a lot faster & easier than my “scratch” recipe!!
